Perched on top of telephone pole on the side of the road at pin drop location. Small Buteo in pale/brown immature plumage. Round, brown, even blotches on chest, buffy crescents on wing tips, and subtly red shoulders. We observed it perched there for some time before it dropped into the ditch on the side of the road and caught a small mammal. It returned to a perch in the adjacent trees to eat. Super cool and unexpected find!
